The Audiology department in ESHT are an experienced team dedicated to providing patient care to over 35,000 users within the area. Audiology comprises both Adult and Paediatrics (including new-born hearing screening) services.
Adult audiology receive approximately 1,500 new referrals each year.
High specification digital hearing aids suitable for the patient’s individual needs are offered to all appropriate patients. We offer new hearing tests every five years and advise hearing aid servicing every six months.
We now offer appointments in Rye for patients within the area, especially those who are unable to travel to the Conquest Hospital. While we cannot provide hearing tests, we can see patients for fitting of their hearing aids, adjustments and basic servicing/advice (usually in clinic on a Wednesday).
Please note we are appointment only and may not be able to see you otherwise. To contact us for an appointment either call 0300 131 5679 or email us on esht.audiology@nhs.net.
